2010 Freebies Review & $50 GC Contest

So, let's see. 2010 for HIF saw:

  • 1,242 Freebies Posted
  • 1,026 Freebies Received (including movie rental codes and online free points)
  • 268 Magazines Received
  • 1 $50 Gift Card being given away in this post

These stats don't count anything I got in January 2010 since I didn't start the Freebies Received series until February. It also doesn't count freebies that were posted in the past few weeks that I'll receive in the future, so I have to be ecstatic with those numbers.

One thing I noticed while going over the past year was the number of food items given away this year. Granola bars, oatmeal, cookies, tea, coffee, cereal, crackers, popcorn, candy, gum, deli meat, bacon, macaroni, Bisquick, chips, energy bars. I've always food is one of the three most common freebies, but geez, you don't realize how much we got until you add it all up.

But what about my absolute favorite freebies? I thought for a bit, looked around to see what freebies I still use to this day, and came up with the following.

Top 10 Favorite Freebies of 2010

  1. US Postal Office Sample Showcase – This box came with 12 freebies and it was glorious. Coffee, shampoo, steak seasonings, lotions, soap, and more – it was all put to good use!
  2. Uniball Super Ink pen – I haven't used a different pen since the day this baby arrived. I actually lost it a few weeks ago and bought a few packages of them at the store. Anybody who says freebies don't convert to paying customers should think again.
  3. Multi-tool pocket knife – No more opening packages with my teeth!
  4. Kraft Sample Pack – Ten food products (including three free full-sized ones) came in the box. I buy Wheat Thins now due to this freebie alone.
  5. Kraft Coupon Book – Kraft again? You better believe it. One tiny brochure brought six coupons for free full-sized Kraft products from deli meat to macaroni to a free pizza. I ate well that week.
  6. American Apparel thong – Only because I had a heck of a time explaining it to my friends who saw me open it.
  7. Tena Adult Underwear – These freebies helped me execute a longterm prank where I convinced my youngest brother that I wasn't potty trained. It ended when his teachers started sending home notes about the topic he brought up during “Share Time” in class.
  8. LED UFO light – Let me paint a picture for you: I'm alone in the mountains in the middle of a monsoon when my car breaks down. I had an idea what the problem was, but both the bulb in my hood and my cell phone were dead. Enter the UFO light, which I had inexplicably thrown into my glove box. Long story short I slept in my bed instead of my truck that night.
  9. Extra Dessert Delights gum – I selected the mint ice cream gum and it tasted so genuine that I bought both of the other flavors. I am now addicted to the Key Lime Pie and am begging my friends and family for an intervention.
  10. Playboy and Macworld magazine subscriptions – Both of these tie for the final spot as they're wonderful reads. Seriously. I read them for the articles!

Another realization I had while going through the archives was the number of full sized freebies that I received, be it through the mail, coupon, or rebate. For the list below, I didn't include anything that could (or should I say, should) be used or consumed in one sitting. Doing so would have more than tripled the list as there were plenty of drinks and travel sized toiletries handed out.

Full Size Freebies

  1. Bar of Dove soap
  2. Package of Double Stuf Oreos
  3. 7 bottles of Excedrin medicine – Did anyone else remember that in addition to the free coupons Excedrin has recently bombarded us with, they also gave away a few in January / February of 2010? I sure didn't.

  1. I would like to be considered for these freebies that you always say that people get but i have nevere ever recieved any why! Iwould like to know why and when could i start recieving some myself.

    Reply
  2. My favorite was the coffee sample this year. EXCEPT my dog got into it before I did and made my house smell like hyper dog and coffee.

    Reply
  3. My favorite was the Bag of Natura Advantage dog food. With two full grown Siberian Huskys, free dog food is always a plus!

    Reply
  4. I like the Extra dessert gum and the Barilla pasta. It seems I missed out on the USPS and Kraft boxes (ugh). Started this site later in the year but now I’m hooked!!!!

    Reply
  5. Although i never recieved half of the freebies i asked for…some of which i see others have…i enjoyed what i did get. Thank you for the site..i am kinda new so i hope i learn some tricks to get the better things. hugzz hope you and yours had a great holiday.

  6. Thanks to the small size deodorants, my travel bag is set and I won’t need to buy them for at least a year. (For my husband and myself)

    Reply
  7. The Extra Desserts gum was my #1 as I got the mint ice cream flavor. I’m powerless over anything mint chocolate and don’t want the cure . Free Oreos was a near 2nd. Had they been mint chocolate too I would have had to go into a 12 step program…

    Reply
  8. My favorite was the Black and Mild Smokers Jacket t-shirt! I gave it to my boyfriend and he has got lots of reactions from it! Thanks!

    Reply
  9. Forbes magazine, Atkins bars, and Extra dessert gum–key lime pie, and since I got a whole pack, there was enough to share with my daughters who absolutely love that gum!

    Reply
  10. Gosh that’s a hard one, there are just so many to choose from, but I would say receiving a few free full size bottles of shampoo and conditioner.

    Reply
  11. There are many (I JUST started in the middle of this year, so I’m kinda new to the whole thing) that I’ve thought were great, but I will pick the free bottles of Excedrin because they were the most useful to me. I LOVE Excedrin for tough headaches & to get 2 free bottles (which, if you read the label closely, they are the same ingredients… ahem… but anyway), and the 2 bottles that SHOULD be on their way to me. Great stuff! 🙂

    Reply
  12. I loved the full size Suave shampoo – that’s such a welcome freebie. The others are good, but anything food or hygiene-related are always so much more useful!

    Reply
  13. I love, love, love the UniBall Super Ink pen!! It’s the only pen I use now, and I hope it never runs dry, ’cause our nearby Staples does not carry them!!!

    Reply
  14. I loved the promotion that Cooking Light magazine did back in the summer. I sent in two UPCs for McCormick Recipe Inspirations and got an apron, a sleep mask, another McCormick Recipe Inspiration packet, a few other random samples, and several coupons for absolutely free products! Definitely my favorite thing to open, and it came in the biggest box!

    Reply
  15. Actually, I never received any of the freebies on the list. Requested a lot of them but never actually received them. Someone must be stealing my freebies. My favorite was the Jose Cuervo freebies, I received all the items that I requested and was very pleased with that. It was the best freebie of 2010.

    Reply
  16. Well I must admit all the freebies I received were amazing but when my dad and my fiance received the free playboy subscriptions that I signed them up for their reactions were priceless! But my new favorite freebie would definitely be the giftcard. 😉 THANKS!

    Reply
  17. I don’t know if this counts, but I saved up all of those free Disney Movie Rewards points and got a free DVD–Enchanted, which I love!!

    Reply
  18. I would have to say the smokers jacket t-shirt was my favorite, that or the playboy subscription. My husband was please with both. I was just so shocked when the playboy ACTUALLY came I couldn’t believe it. Love your site, thanks so much for providing us with such a cool service!!!!!!

    Reply
  19. By far my favorite freebie of 2010 was a pair of free ski day passes to Northstar at Tahoe for the 2010/2011 season, valid any day. Got a hot tip one day that a local dealership was offering them with any test drive – no purchase necessary. Went down and had tickets in hand that evening.
    Valued at $91 each! Woo Hoo!

    Reply
  20. defenetly the shampoo samples, i honestly live off of those!!! whos needs to buy a ton of shampoos and conditioners your not gunna like in the end?! totally worth it!

    Reply
  21. Honestly, I think that everything was my favorite sample. By that I mean, that everything was awesome!! I can’t just choose one thing. This website is awesome!! Thanks GOOB!

    Reply
  22. My favorite freebie was the free Tropicana OJ. I won’t drink any other OJ unless I’m dying of thirst. So it was a nice treat to get free juice.

    Reply
  23. my fave freebie was the pantene shampoo… i thought they would send me a sample but i got a full size in the mail… love getting full size things for free.

    Reply
  24. I loved the Extra Dessert Delights gum freebie. I’m a sweet-aholic, and there was nothing in my house one dreary winter’s day, and I suddenly remembered the gum, and I was in sugary, dessert heaven!

    Reply
  25. Disney Movie Reward Points. I didn’t know anything about them until you posted points. Because of HIF, I registered on the site and entered all the points from my family and my dad (who is a DVD collector). I now have 4400 points. Thank you!

    Reply
  26. I missed out on the Kraft and some of the other great freebies while in the hospital and recuperating from surgeries this year but I did receive all the coffee samples which I love (especially the full sized ones). I would have to say the coffee freebies were my favorites.

    Reply
  27. The free hearing batteries you posted just recently are my all time favorite! I have to replace the batteries in my cochlear implant every three days, so getting a free “sample” is a real treat!!

    Reply
  28. I received two different full size beauty samples: A fancy Olay face wash and a fancy curl spray. I have no idea how I got them, but I have used both and LOVED. THEM.

    Reply
  29. The Extra Dessert Gum in Mint was awesome and the Uniball pen was great too!! But I really appreciated all the free shampoo and conditioner samples as I travel a great deal. Thanks!!!

    Reply
  30. The Excedrin Migraine was my favorite! It came at the perfect time because I was running out and I opted to try the geltabs which I never would not have otherwise tried because I am so use to the tablets and I know how well they work for my migraines if I catch it before it turns into a full on migraine.

    Reply
  31. Since I am new to this & have only gotten a few items, my favorite so far is the dog & cat food samples, also the free advil! Thanks So much!

    Reply
  32. My favorite freebie was the box of Barilla pasta. That sample convinced me that my family should and because of that sample, did, switch to wheat pasta. I loved the flavor, and knowing that I was doing something healthy for my family.

    Reply
  33. Goob, I was fortunate to have found your site on 01/01/2011, however, unfortunately I did NOT receive ANY freebies last year. I too would have been happy with the Uniball Super Ink pen or the LED UFO light . In any regard, I started the NEW YEAR off right with your site. Thank you for that!

    Reply
  34. I liked the free gum that you told us about..I am losing weight because I pop in some gum instead of treats thanks soo much you rock

    Reply
  35. my favorite was the free 6 month subscription to Wall Street Journal since my dad pays over $100 per year for an online subscription. He still doesn’t know i got it for free 🙂

    Reply
  36. My favorites were the all the awesome samples from Vocal Point….The dryer bar was AWESOME!!!! Love your site! you keep me laughing everyday lol 🙂

    Reply
  37. I definitly have to say my package from Secret Deodorant. I got 2 full sized deodorants and 2 full sized body splashes! It made my whole year!!! YAY! I love you and your site! The funny comments you make are just hilarious! Keep it up! ?Lynda

    Reply
  38. Hmm…it’s difficult to narrow it down, especially if I go back to when I joined in the Spring and the distributors were being generous. So I will say the full bottle of Aveeno lotion which I love but never would have paid $8 for without trying it firts, the Kraft sample pack, especially the yummy Homestyle mac n cheese which really does taste homemade and I’d certainly buy it now if I as in a rush–and I LOVE all beef hot dogs, and the Degree and Dove deodorants, because I really needed to find a new deodorant and these are two that I wouldn’t have thought would do the trick! But they are now regular purchases for me!!

    Reply
  39. I found out about this website late in the year, so haven’t had a chance to get many freebies. But I’ve enjoyed using the codes for Blockbuster Express and Redbox to get free movies. I was kinda amazed the first time when it really worked!

    Reply
  40. I agree, lots of great samples and coupons. Hard to pick,- so I’ll go w/ the excedrins… I redeemed coupons and got free 50 reg excedrins and 50 excedrin migraine… same ingredients! 100 pain pills for FREE! Gosh THANKS so much!

    Reply
  41. The free Kashi Go-Lean cereal was awesome! Being a broke college student, getting any sort of free food (or freebies in general) helps 🙂

    Reply
  42. Without a doubt the US Postal Service Sampler was the best freebie I’ve received. But I’m also lovin’ the free things I’ve been able to earn through the various points programs (Disney, Huggies, Pampers).

    Reply
  43. oh my gosh, so many to choose from that’s for sure! love the extra gum defiently has been my fun fav freebie! so addicted! cannot wait to see all the new things to come!

    Reply
  44. Hmm, so hard to choose! But I think that the smoking jacket tee was pretty darned cool, and the multiple Marlboro (or was it Copenhagen??) canteens. Oh yeah, and the schnazzy black and red bandana too! All tobacco promos it seems!

    Reply
  45. I, too, have gotten many free things this past year. One of my favorite things was getting a gift basket from Kraft with coupons for free products and a $25 American Express card.

    Reply
  46. Hard to pick just one. So many great ones…. My favorites were the dog food samples. Our dog was going through a picky eating stage and a couple of free samples arrived one week. Turns out our dog loves the Purina One.

    Reply
  47. The Kraft sampler pack FTW! The full size olive oil mayo was awesome, and I would have never tried that homestyle mac & cheese otherwise.

    Reply
  48. My favorite freebie of 2010 was the Uniball Super Ink pen. I thought I had lost it a couple months back until I found it about a week ago, my husband had taken it, I guess I have to buy him his own now.

    Reply
  49. My favorite freebie was from the Spanish language version of Betty Crocker. It came with 2 full sized food products and a few samples!

    Also, the Emergen-C freebies were a VERY close second.

    Reply
  51. Received a lot fo freebies this year. Can’t really say what my favorite was because there was so many. I really liked the postit ones

    Reply
  52. My favorite was the awesome Mary Kay fragrance box! It’s a nice magnetic box that came with four quarter oz. vials of perfume, and a lip gloss that has 2 ends — one that is the gloss and the other you can screw in a perfume sample and take it with you =3. It’s so cool, I take it everywhere! My favorite scent is Warm Amber :). TY!

    Reply
  53. I love all the free samples weather it is a sample or they send the full size. I’m now on a fixed income and every item helps and it introduces me to new items I’ve never tried or never knew of, So Thanks for everything you have sent our way!
    Greatly apreciated, Denise

    Reply
  54. My absolute favorite is the key lime pie gum. I’m diabetic so the “dessert” after lunch is great b’cause its sugar free. The Uniball pen is awesome (stolen shortly after) and the American Apparel thong was cute. Gave it to my boss lady..who ended up pregnant a short time later. Now when she makes me mad i imagine her thong all stretched to….well.. nevermind. u get the picture.

    Reply
  55. I like all the free points (Disney rewards, Pampers, Huggies). I’m not sure what I am saving them up for, but I’m sure it’ll be something good!

    Reply
  56. There was a P&G Coupon book giveaway and it resulted in multiple boxes of free Swiffers (wet and dry). Also, loved the Que Rida Vica and the Bisquick with directions in Spanish! The pancakes still came out great!

    Reply
  57. I am a new freebie-aholic. oh my gosh, your site is the best. my favorite is the dog food samples. My 75 pound 1 year Old puppy luvs it.

    Reply
  58. I enjoy the free magazine subscriptions. I got Maxim for my boyfriend and I always end up reading the entire thing before he even gets to look at it, haha! But I also like all the rewards points posted. I got a theatrical Lion King poster from Disney Movie Rewards and I don’t know what is classier than that.

    Reply
  59. I love getting these freebies! My husband has opened some of the boxes and didn’t believe that they were free! Like the flask! Tried for a second one, but never got it! But I am happy with the one! And I have a samples basket in my guest bathroom for when friends come and stay!

    Reply
  60. With HIF I received so many different freebies, that it would be terrible of me to just say one was my favorite. So I am going to say HEY IT’S FREE was my favorite. Without HIF I wouldn’t have had such a great year saving. Thank you HIF and HIFFERS for such a GREAT year with savings and all the free Samples.
    GREAT JOB…. I’m looking forward to 2011… 🙂

    Reply
  61. I have gotten so many great “free” items throughout the year. I love all of the magazines that come each month. It is always exciting to see what comes in the mail each week.

    Reply
  62. Awesome job! And awesome site!! Love it here, I think my favorite might have to be all the free snack bars/granola bars. I love them, especially any one with chocolate 🙂

    Reply
  63. Hmm, let’s see….we just made guacamole with our free avocados, use all the free bars and snacks for breakfast at work, love the free travel size toothpastes (Tom’s of Maine) and toilet paper. I have enjoyed the free Women’s Health magazines. Perhaps the best was all the free meals and food during my birthday—enough to spread over an entire month!

    Reply
  64. My favorite freebie was the US Postal Office Sample Showcase. I also really liked the uniball pen and was very disapointed when I lost it.

    Reply
  65. I loved the Kraft box as there was so much in it, and came at just the time of the month money is low. My dog loves the dog food samples though, and he sits at my feet just waiting when I go out and get the mail.

    Reply
  66. Right when I went to throw out the trash, iIdecided to check the mail. Just my luck….a free odorshield w/febeeze trashbag was waiting for me! It went straight into the garbage pail! Kids fight over who “gets” to open freebies and eat them if they are food samples! THANKS

    Reply
  67. I got started kinda late in the year (August 2010) so my favorite freebie over the past couple months has been all the magazine subscriptions! I get Marie Claire, Redbook, Glamour, Cosmo, Self, Allure…every month…for free!

    Reply
  68. My love and faves were the Magazine subscriptions did not know that I would really get them but I did..I felt like a kid in the candy store with all of these freebies thanks again:)

  69. I moved into a new house so I don’t get a lot of mail…until I started using your website that is!!! I look forward to your postings as well as my snail mail items too. Thanks for making my day bright and filled with freebies 🙂

    Reply
  70. I loved the Mujer sample pack! I also liked the Pampers codes. I save them for my sister, who is a single mother. Every little bit helps. Nothing makes a long day better than getting home, checking the mail and having free samples! Thank you for all the time you spend finding these freebies for us!!

    Reply
  71. I would have to say that the ear plugs were my favorite freebee. Nothing has ever given me a better nights sleep when lying next to my snoring husband.

    Reply
  72. Mt favorite was the Purina cat food! I got it right when I had run out of cat food… and the hungry beast was lookin’ like he was going to sample “people” instead of finding himself a mouse.

    Reply
  73. My favorite thing I got for free this year has to be my PS3 Move gift pack with EA Sports Active 2 from Coke. I may have won it but it was still Free!

    Reply
  74. My favorite was the Harley poster as well. Very nice, much nicer than I actually expected. Either that, or the shampoo samples. I like trying new stuff on my hair.

    Reply
  75. I just started sampling this past year and it really has helped out especially when your on fixed income. So many of the samples would arrive in my mail right at the time I would be out of that item. Also i’ve had opportunities thru sampling to try products that i’ve been wanting to try before I buy. I have tried several things this year that I really liked and because i liked it, I went to store and purchased items and am now using products that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about. Thank you and God bless you thruout this year….

  76. Wow- to just pick one… i love getting stuff in mail that are NOT bills!
    Well the one piece of bounty paper towel was def the best, was laughing for days that someone would pay postage to send me ONE piece of paper towel. LOL

  77. My favorite freebie was definitely the “Thumb Socks!” … every time I get in my car, they remind not to text and drive and are sure to give me a good chuckle. 🙂

    Reply
  78. My favorite freebie was the Melissa and Doug agnetic wooden dress up doll I got with the discount from Gilt.com. Didn’t even pay shipping. I gave it to my 3 year old niece for Christmas and she has spent hours dressing up the princess.

    Reply
  79. I would have to say that the free subscription to Playboy has been my favorite freebie. It continues to arrive in my mailbox each month! Can’t lose with the great articles in this mag! Oh and the naked women are just an added bonus.

    Reply
  80. my favorite is the Glamour magazine subscription because its been a long time since I was able to treat myself to a magazine subscription in the mail.

    Reply
  81. I love all the freebies. If I can’t use it, then someone I know can! If I have to pick one, then it would probably be the Schwan $10.00 freebie with free shipping! I got the mini corn dogs and my family loved them.

    Reply
  82. My favorite freebie of 2010 would have to be the free Playboy subscription. The look on my boyfriend’s face when the first issue came in the mail was priceless. He said that if there were a Best Girlfriend Award, I’d have it, hands down. 🙂

    Reply
  83. This is the greatest site ever!! I mean who doesn’t love to get free stuff. I have received a lot of free samples of things that I would not normally try without getting a freebee first – love it!!

    Reply
  84. My favorite freebie during the past year was a pedometer that I received, although I haven’t used it in a couple of months, it is very nice to motivate me to do some walking. I walked 2 to 3 miles, 3 times a week until the weather changed and my walking partner went into labor. When it warms up again, I will be sure to start that walking program again.

    Reply
  85. I luuuuved the USPS samples — I’ve already mailed out two late Christmas packages using the free boxes they sent me — pack as much as you can in a box — pay one low price, no matter the weight.

    Reply
  86. Wow! – This was a great year filled some fabulous freebies … but I would have to say my absolutely favorite freebie was getting a FREE medium size pizza from Papa John’s Pizza. Free food even tastes better.

    Reply
  87. My favorite freebie had to be the Kraft box. That was a great freebie and I LOVED getting it in the mail because I was broke and really needed the freebies from it.

    Reply
  88. Definitely the post office sample pack! I get so frustrated having to go there in person-it was nice to get something in return!

    Reply
  89. I liked the thong also, because I sent MANY of them to family members and friends, who then had to explain, to whoever saw them open it, why they ordered a thong in the mail.

    Reply
  90. I loved that I could trust Wal-Mart and Target to send their freebies–that wasn’t always the case with other companies! Kraft sent out a few full-size samples, which rocked.

    Reply
  91. Although I really loved all the FREE items I recieved in 2010 the Purina One dog food samples were the best. They came in handy between trips to the store!

    Reply
  92. My favorites are always the free Blockbuster and Redbox movie rentals. My son and I are on such a tight budget that we rarely get to see 1st run movies. This really gives us a chance to see movies that most people see the week they come out. Thanks for posting them.

    Reply
  93. My favorite was the full size bag of Sun Chips. I wouldn’t have known they made Peppercorn Ranch flavor without the free sample!!

    Reply
  94. One of my favorite samples was the cat food from Purina. Also the free Bic pen and all of the free coupons which I love! Thanks HIF!

    Reply
  95. I loved the Natura Dog Food one, it really helped us out in tough times, and was one of the few foods our dog with sensitive allergies did well with! Thanks!

    Reply
  96. My favorite freebiee was the Secret Extra Strength Deodorant from Wal-Mart a few times ;D. Perfect sample size to stow away in my purse and gym bag.

    Also the Crest White Strips 😀 (people kept asking where I got my teeth whitened, amazing little suckers!)

    Reply
  97. Definately the US Postal Office Sample Showcase. My daughter was jealous about it. I told her abou the HIF. Hopefully she joined.

  98. I loved all of the freebies. The kraft pack was breat. Barilla pasta was awesome. I loved the Aveeno full sized lotion that I still use every night.

  99. There was a 25lb bag of dog food that was UPS’d to me from Sam’s. Didn’t have to pick the bag up and used my neighbors Sam’s card #. Classic.
    Thanks…HIF.

  110. They are all very much appreciated. The ones I don’t use myself, I give to friends and family members!
    If I had to pick just one it would be the Glidden paint samples. In June 2009 I got a free pint of their paint through HIF, then in June of 2010, I got free paint samples with a brush in the lid, in the same color. Since I hadn’t used the free pint yet, the samples came in very handy!

  112. Oh, there are too many to choose, I guess I would have to say the free food samples or full size products with a coupon were nice to have. My husband always asks where did you get this, and I say “Hey it’s Free” site. Thanks Guys for all your freebie posts!!!!!

  136. I loved the Mrs. Field cookie sampler. For referring a handful of people
    (I forgot how many). I received a nice basket of many delicious cookie and brownie samples, I wouldn’t have bought, because they are so overpriced, but for free they were greeat. Especially since all the email addresses I used to confirm the referrals were my own. I still have the nice wicker basket that I use for bread and rolls.

  137. I love all the freebies I get but I like the recipe books the best. Or maybe the food samples? There are too many choices to pick just one.

  138. The Picaboo free photo book. We had a low cost wedding, and I always felt that skimping may have meant I missed out a little, but no more. For just the cost of shipping, I have a perfect book which reminds me how beautiful the day was in its simplicity and which allows me to show off in a big way.

    Reply
  139. Believe it or not out of all the freebies I’ve received here my most favorite one is the Uniball Super Ink pen. You took the words right of my mouth of what you said about it in this post, I never used another pen since and actually bought a few packages for myself and my family, needless to say we can’t go back to using other pens it just doesn’t feel right. So thanks for sharing that freebie with us!

  142. I got lots of great freebies, but my favorite has to be the antislip pad that I got. I have been having troubles with my memory foam mattress topper sliding and I put this under it and it hasn’t moved since. Love it! I had no idea this freebie would be so large, I expected a 6×6 square.

  143. Despite the fact that some may disagree with me given the website’s performance and the expired coupons received, the Sobe game was fun. I won so many Sobe’s. My kids loved them, but yes, still trying to get the expired coupons taken care of. (Headache)

  144. I actually have 2 favorites – a highest $ value favorite and a most-used favorite. The highest $ value favorite is a Creative Zen 1GB MP3 player from Napster. My most used favorite was the 6,001 (okay, maybe not quite THAT many) BOGO SoBe LifeWater coupons I received during their Aug/Sep promotion game. Combined with numerous sales on SoBe in my area, this was an AWESOME freebie!

  145. My favorite was the free bag of expensive petfood from Naturapet. They sell extraordinarily high-quality food and it is EXPENSIVE. One free bag for my dog and later one free bag for my cat. That was over $50 in savings. Even the pet shop owner said, “That is an AMAZING deal!”

  164. The best freebie I received thanks to HIF and the Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards point codes was a copy of the children’s story “On Top of Spaghetti.” The kid loves the book and its kind of funny that she partially “earned” the book purely by refusing to potty train thus far. To be fair, though, she’s only 18 months old . . . plenty of time yet to be potty trained.

  165. The free Kraft Sample pack was one of the first freebies I signed up for this year, and was probably my favorite. The little bags of Wheat Thins made for a great travel snack and the free Mac & Cheese was great.

My vote for strangest freebie of the year was the Jose Cuervo margarita ball, which I somehow ended up receiving 4 of!

  196. My favorite freebie has to be the free excedrin coupons. It’s something I’d buy anyway and it’s sort of pricey, so it definitely helped me save money. Plus, since they were the small bottles, I can keep one in my purse, one in my desk at work, one in my room, and one in the bathroom. Very convenient!

  207. Too hard! Some of my favorites were the toiletries, I used them to make up over night baggies for when my two teenaged daughters spend the night with their friends. I collected all the coffee samples and put them in a basket with different types of cream and gave them to a girl who works in a nursing home to share. All of the food samples and food coupons were great! A lot of them I passed on to a family who is having a hard time right now. And you are right about the Uniball Pens, that’s what I buy now too. Love them!

  210. I haven’t been hiffing long, so I don’t have many samples to choose from. However, my favorite one was the one I didn’t get. You introduced me to Dr. Hess’ Udder Ointment. Reading the website convinced me I needed this special product, so I bought a tube, then two more because I liked it so much I wanted to share it with others. I never got the free sample I was after. Maybe they thought it was pointless since I bought the full sized product. Maybe I got so carried away I forgot to ask for it, but, they also stopped sending it out because so many people asked for it. Anyway, it’s good stuff; I like it. moooooo.

I must also state that the full-sized coffee with travel mug from Green Mountain was amazing and all the t-shirts! 2010 was a great year for the goodies!

  228. I loved all the free shampoo samples. I didn’t have to buy shampoo for about a month because of all the free shampoo samples I received. It was great

  229. By far the Dessert gum was my favorite. I love the key lime pie and chew it every day. It is a wonderful diet aid when I want something sweet.

  230. Funny, I work for the Post office and couldn’t land one of those sample packs!. Hats off to HIF and those entertaining emails – Keep up the good work !
    THANKS
    PSSSSSSSSTTTTTTT……… (Pick me !!! I could use the $50 gift card to buy tissues to cry into for not getting the PO box of samples)

  232. Love the coupons for free full sized Excedrin (x2!) and free coffee samples. Sometimes I even use them together. You can never have enough caffeine!

  233. I found this site probably mid-year… so far my 2-3 magazine subscription, free advil and free pasta has been my best so far… Also all those extra diaper points both for huggies and pampers!!!

  234. I liked the free disney movie rewards points. Luckily for me, you have posted quite a few of them over the year. I use the points to then redeem for merchandise. It’s fantastic.

  235. Can’t choose only one! Prilosec OTC, Scotch painter’s tape, Pantene shampoo/conditioner travel size, Haas avocado coupon, tiny box of Kleenex.
    Love the subscription to Bloomberg Business Week. Disney Rewards points!! My husband loved the Johnsonville mini sausages!
    My favorite, though, is swagbucks. I’ve gotten $105 in amazon.com gift cards thru them! Thanks HIF! You rock!!!

  236. My sons loved the Johnsonville Deli Bites, my daughter loved the full-size nail polishes that arrived and I love just about anything free. That Cuervo one was really cool.

  237. I admit that I love free pens, so the Uniball Super Ink Pen has got to be my favorite! I keep it with my check book, and that all I use for signing important stuff 😀 The best part: It’s red ink, so it’s even more obvious! Thanks for the wonderful site!

  238. All the deoderent, believe it or not I saved a ton of money on myself;)

  239. LOVED that Uniball pen. It’s almost out of ink already because of all the assignments I used it for in college. Gotta get another one!

    I also liked the Extra gum. I selected the strawberry shortcake flavor. It was gooood.

  240. I’ve loved Food Should Taste Good chips for awhile, so the coupon for a free bag was perfect! I bought the kinds I liked, and tried a new flavor: Sweet Potato. Addicted.

  244. My favorite was the Kashi GoLean sample. Not only was it a nice serving size, it came with a coupon for three dollars off, which was enough for a whole box! And there were three $1.00 off coupons, too. We loved the cereal so we will use those, too.

  249. I have really appreciated the free magazine subscriptions. Of course, having a variety of tasty treats to snack on while I read ’em has been super as well!

    Reply
  250. My favorite freebie was the miniature box of Kleenex tissues. You were supposed to send them to a friend but I had it sent to me instead ;-/

    I love small iterations of larger products. I suspect it is a latent desire for that doll house I never had as a child.

    Thanks for all your hard work!

  251. I am relatively new to HIF, but my favorite freebies so far have to be the magazine subscriptions. Seriously, who knew it was that easy to get them to GIVE you their magazines. Thanks, HIF!

  252. I don’t know what to pick all the stuff I get is so cool ; I look forward to something other than bills in the mail now!! I guess I would have to say the Early Times tee shirt and the Harley Davidson poster; they both came the week before Christmas and made great stocking stuffers for my brother in laws!!

  255. My husbands favorite was the Maxim magazine subscription. (we are still waiting on the Playboy one!) Mine would have to be a tie between the Kraft sample pack and the YUMMY AWESOMENESS of the Johnsonville Deli Bites! holy cow they gave a lot of those!

    Reply
  256. My favorite 2010 freebie was a night stay at La Quinta Inn. I was so excited to win! I reserved the room that I thought would be a tiny (1) twin bed room. Surprisingly it was for a big room with (2) full size beds up to 4 peolple and free continental breakfast.

    One freebies of 2010 that sticks out???
    I’ll say Kraft coupon pack. I held onto those free q’s until a bogo sale and doubled my full size freebies!

  263. My favorite was the Mrs Field’s Cookie tin but my cat’s favorite was definitely the purina one salmon and tuna! 😀

    Reply
  264. I love all my freebies but the free magazine subscriptions are probably my favorites. I get to enjoy them month after month and I’d never spend the money to get them for myself. They tie closely with all the food samples though. It’s so nice to come home from a day of college classes and find a free snack waiting in the mail.

  265. I have to say my favorite was USPS box the candy bar was soo good and at that point in time I NEEDED chocolate..but a close 2nd was the Sebastian Hair Stuff for men I used for my sons I won on Allure..

  266. It was a long year….and i truly appreciated the FREE bottles of Extra-Strength Excedrin and Excedrin Back & Body.

  269. It is very hard to narrow it down but I do use my uni-ball pen just about every day. I also got hooked on True Lemon and now order from their website on a regular basis. If you haven’t tried the True Lemon Lemonade, you have got to try it.

  270. I really appreciated the dog food samples….especially because I did not realize that we had run out the week I was not feeling well. Those samples kept me from having to go out in public in my slippers with a box of kleenex!! Thanks so much for all of your hard work. Keep the posts coming. Happy New Year!!

  271. I love everything – it’s just so much fun to get freebies just about every day – but I do have to say that the Kraft Sample Pack of foodies was the greatest!

  276. It’s hard to say what my favorite freebie is, since I received alot of them. I received 103 freebies out of 156 that I signed up for starting in July & going through December. I got magazine subscriptions, food, dog/cat food, hygiene products, water bottles, mall gift cards,etc. If I have to choose my favorite freebie, it would be the amazon gift cards I received from swagbucks, which I learned about on this website. I was able to download several full music albums for free with the amazon gift cards I earned through swagbucks. I love music, but it is always better when it is free!

    year were great. Got to make several cool pictures
    to keep and give to family. The Uniball pen was really nice,
    it was a bit of a challenge to log on and get it at the
    exact right time but well worth it when I saw and used the

  293. All the laundry detergent samples! I often forget that we are out of laundry detergent when I shop, and the pile of Tide & other samples came in handy several times so that my husband could have clean work clothes!

    Reply
  294. The Post Office sample showcase was awesome, as was the full size bottle of V8 fusion (or splash?), but far and away our free subscription to the Lego magazine addressed to “Zeek U. R. A. Dork” is my favorite. It makes me laugh every time my husband gets it and even more so because of the enthusiasm he peruses with (he’s 27, not 8).

  296. The Kraft freebie package was a big hit at our house… but the BEST had to be the 4gig mp3 player that Napster gave away. The best part was that I also signed my mom up for one and I got to hear her grandson explaining to her how it was possible to store hundreds of songs on such a little gadget.

I actually had the first request stolen (someone ripped a hole in the box and I got an empty box in the mailbox), and I was able to e-mail the company and get another one.

    Reply
  321. So many were great — granola bars, popcorn, painters tape, thermos, calendars. But to boil it down, No. 2 probably is the pocket copy of the U.S. Constitution, and No. 1 is the Copenhagen multi-tool. When I was watching “127 Hours,” my heart broke for Aron Ralston that he didn’t have mine instead of his cheapo one. Just hope I don’t ever have to use mine in similar circumstances! Thank you, HIF!!!

  326. I have to admit it – my name is Paula and I’m an addict. It’s the gum – the key lime pie gum. Good thing the Charleston area market didn’t have it on their shelves until November.

    My udder favorite thing was the thermos from one of the cig companies. It’s way to cool to chew my gum and then drink my coffee.

  336. It was a toss up for me. I loved the Kraft package and that you got to choose which one you wanted, but the USPS one was like christmas early. I never would have guessed that the post office would ever do anything like that and the variety of brands they sent you was very nice too.

  338. Happy New Year – 2011!

    So my favorites for 2010 would be the very cool beer GLASS from NEW CASTLE BROWN ALE – I love drinking out it; it has a great shape to it.

    Also, like you and everyone else, I’m still enjoying my UniBall pen – it is indeed a great marketing effort on their part. I know I’d never have purchased one on my own – but using this one, I definitely will get some in the near future.

    Thanks again for all your great work on behalf of us, your loyal fans & followers!

  344. I loved the uniball pen. I hadn’t used it before I got my freebie. I absolutely loved it and have bought a number of packages to replace all my pens. Freebies are a great way to introduce a product. I probably wouldn’t have purchased the uniball pen on it’s own. Now I have all my friends and family using them. I loved the uncle ben’s brown rice. I passed it in the store but never picked it up. Snagged a freebie and we are hooked.

  350. Hands down the big metal thermal flask from Copenhagen, but since I wear bandanas a lot, the red and black bandana from Marlboro was second. My hubby really enjoys the free Maxim and Playboy subscriptions I got for him, though…maybe a little too much….

  351. I have to agree with the top 2 listed here… the USPS sample pack and the uniball pen were the best for sure. I dooo love some freebies. Thanks for keeping us aware of them.

  352. It’s a tie between the smoking jacket tee shirt (gave it as a holiday gift) and the US Postal Service freebie pack (I was like a kid on Christmas morning when that thing came!).

    Reply
  353. The best freebee I got was the free subscription to Self magazine. It,s changed my life around. I,ve lost 17pounds. Who knew a free magazine could change ones life around. Thanks…

  354. I love the free wall calendars you can write on from Eat Better America, Betty Crocker, etc. I use at least three in my house and they help keep me organized and eating better!

    Reply
  355. Actually the coupon books that pg has sent through the months. There were quite a few free products that I was able to get through the coupons attached. I sign up each time they list them and I always get my booklets.

    Reply
  356. First, Thanks Goob & Adam for disseminating this info so we could all enjoy. My fave of the 233 freebies I received was the full size plush Dove bathrobe (in the weeks before Christmas, my sister was saying she needed a new bathrobe!).

    Other standouts include: Kikkoman steel tongs, all the Walgreens 8×10 photo collages, Ritz Munchables (that I now buy regularly!), Native Flutes mp3 album, free spicy chicken Chick-fil-A sandwiches, Kraft First Taste coupons (good for full size products), Kraft bbq sauces in new flavors, Propel drink crystals, Johnsonville sausage bites (a guilty pleasure for sure) all the Bath & Body Works lotion freebies through Facebook.

    Two standouts for other reasons: Abuelita Granado hot chocolate that tasted awful and came with an expired coupon! and Cream of Wheat chocolate flavor. Now I know what to use if I ever run out of spackle!

  358. It is almost impossible to name my favorite freebie because I appreciate all of them, big and small! They all make a BIG difference in my household, but I will go with the Carhardt jacket I received right before Christmas.

    Reply
  359. My favorite freebie of all of 2010 was definitely the Uni Ball Pen! I love this pen! It’s my favorite of every pen I own, and that is A LOT! I’m a pen collector, but the Uni Ball is my absolute favorite. I even got my mother hooked on them!

    Reply
  360. I loved the Kraft package, and the Uniball pen. Also, do not forget to enter sweepstakes. I won a front-load Washer and Dryer this year. Somebody has to win, might as well be you!

    Reply
  361. My favorite was the Icky Bands from Georgia pacific. As a mom, I thought the silly bands thing was lame but when my kids got these… Well, who wouldn’t want to wear a band named Mr Mee-Yucky! Way cool.

    Reply
  362. I sign up for almost all of the freebiess-thank you for having an awesome website -keep up the great work and oh yeah it would be nice to win the gift card we are a family of six and we are both out of work and coulld really use it.

    Reply
  363. My fav of all – the Uniball Pen – I too have not used another one since receiving this freebie. I am still old fashioned and write checks to pay my bills and I just love these pens knowing that my check is safe. I have bought the multi packs with different colors so I can change when my mood calls for it. Thanks for all the other great freebies – keep them coming.

    Reply
  364. Loved all the freebies. My brother and I call each other every time we get a freebie to see who gets the most samples. It was a fun challenge this year. I put sample packets together for my students.

    Reply
  365. My favorite was the Dog Treats (cookies) from 3 Dog Bakery. They smell just like a nutter butter, my dog is hilarious when he is begging for one, and my father-in-law almost ate one thinking they were for humans…my MIL fussed that I didn’t let him go ahead and take a bite. Pretty funny.

    Reply
  366. I am a late bloomer with the Hey It’s Free offers. But, I enjoy them all. The travel sized samples were wonderful for me because I do like to travel and do not care for what most hotels leave. I am looking forward to the opportunity to try more great proucts.

    Reply
  367. I have enjoyed all the freebies you are so kind to post for us! But… my favorite was not the single piece of Extra Dessert gum… but THE WHOLE PACK! They sure made a fan out of me and it is on my shopping list every week. I keep one in the purse, one in my backpack, one in the car and one in the living room. I love how it gives me something to chew on while I am dieting and the taste is incredible! Thank you very much for sharing your valuable info with all of us and here’s to a new year of freebies!

    Reply
  368. I think my favorite was the Extra Desserts Delight gum – I got the Strawberry Shortcake flavor and am hooked! It probably doesn’t help that strawberry shortcake has been my favorite dessert since I was a kid…the gum tastes just like it – yum!

    Reply
  369. Can’t rememeber if it was this year, but my wife loved getting O Magazine so she didn’t have to buy one when traveling.

    Reply
  370. This is really tough…. the magazines.. yes and the scotch tape… and the natural lip balm I keep in the car… I just love the site. thanks.

  371. My favorite is the stainless steel flask from Copenhagen. I don’t remember if I signed up after the first or second post, but I hate that I missed one! It gets used a lot!!

    Reply
  372. Sorry…I forgot to answer the question…my favorite freebie in the mail was a full size bottle of Pantene Natural Fusions shampoo. That was the best stuff! Thanks again!

    Reply
  373. I’m gonna have to go with the Little Smokies sample pack from Johnston. Not because I particularly enjoyed them (which I did) but because I got an unexplainable kick out of getting sausage in the mail.

    Reply
  374. i would have to say oreos , i got them through the facebook giveaway and for some reason i received three or four coupons for free oreos, we ate alot of oreos that month YUM!!!!

  375. While ALL the freebies are awesome, my most favorite was the Kraft package. It got me to try new products & I still use them! I have also shared the site with friends & family so they too can get the best freebies out there!

    Reply
  376. I was so surprised to received a full-sized can of Enfamil powder – I get baby samples and put them in the food bank – so I don’t even know how much it was worth – a lot, I assume!!! The people at the food bank were overwhelmed! Thank you, Enfamil!

  377. I really liked the Post Office sample kit as well. It was like opening an unexpected Christmas Gift and I’m hoping they do more!

    Reply
  378. I like all the magazine offers. I sent some to my brother in jail. I like to think I have educated a lot of men in there about cars, health, etc.

    Reply
  379. My favorite freebie was probably the saw blade I have yet to actually receive. It will make an excellent canvas for painting on! Of the ones I have received, the biotrue sample was wonderful.

    Reply
  380. My favorite was definitely the give away from Napster in which I sadly did not get the MP3 player, but I did get a $15 gift card to Best Buy instead. That gift card really helped!

    Reply
  381. I loved the Extra Dessert Delights gum! I’ve never really been into chewing gum, but after trying that one (loved the mint chocolate chip) I’ve been buying it on a regular basis….the gum tastes so good – just like ice cream, yet without all those calories….LOVE IT! Thanks for that great freebie suggestion!

    Reply
  382. I really liked the cereal freebies the best. I was able to try something new without having to waste money on a whole box 🙂

    Reply
  383. I have to agree with you on the Kraft Coupon Book, my son was out of work and money was tight, so being the good Dad I am I gave him all the coupons and he ate and drank for a few more days, hope they have another one coming out this year.

    Reply
  384. Wish I had known about you sooner! I missed out on alot but my favorite freebies have to be the magazines. I read the ones I want and the others I take to work and hand out. It’s made me super popular at work LOL. Thanks Goob!

    Reply
  385. My favorite freebie was the “survival pack” dinner for four from Wise.

    It isn’t something I would order long term, but Lasagna that fed my entire family for a night is never a bad thing!

    (Of course, the feminine products have covered three entire cycles for my wife, so that ain’t a bad thing either.)

    Reply
  386. My favorite was the excedrin and the calendars i have one everywhere because i am so busy and forgetful so everything i ever do is written on my calendars!! Thanks i love them and this site.

    Reply
  387. How did I miss the Double Stuf Oreos?!? I’m kicking myself.

    Sorry to say, my worst freebie was the extra desserts gum. I couldn’t stand the key lime pie! Uh, it was terrible for me.

    My best freebie is actually the combination of all the free tampons I received over the course of the year. It added up to close to 2 free full size boxes! Love it.

    Reply
  388. My favorite was the sticky notes… I’m sticky note obsessed!

    2nd favorite would be all the Gifts To Grow points that I combined with my own points and used towards shutterfly pictures of my daughter!!

  391. Mine might sound kind of lame but I loved the Prilosec 2 pack samples that were available all year. I have a daughter who has to take it so those packs went with her to sleepovers. in my purse, in the glovebox, etc.

  393. The free Mens Depends ended up being a hysterically funny joke on my dad on Christmas, we even took a video clip of it 😉 but, seriously, the free Purina Beyond Dog food was so exciting to receive in the mail, it wasn’t just a coupon, it was a full 3.5 lb bag to my door. How cool is that???

Cant wait to see what freebies 2011 has to offer!! =)

  401. I thought the Hugh Hefner shirt was truly a classic. When it arrived I showed it to everyone I knew because I thought it was so cool. They all laughed at me and said I would never wear it. You should’ve seen the look on their faces when I went out with that t-shirt on!!!

  402. We had 2 faves, one was the Tivo cookie cutters, we even made Tivo christmas cookies (we don’t have a Tivo).. and the second was a pain cream Ibunex, we ended up buying for my mom who has neuropathy and now her doc gets samples for patients in his office

    Reply
  403. I did not get a chance to have all those goodies, I only found your site half way through the year, but now I have to visit daily. The Key Lime Dessert gum & the Betty Crocker/ Pillsbury calendars were my fav. Thanks for this great giveaway!

    Reply
  409. My #1 favorite freebie this past year was the US Postal Office Sample Showcase. By far, this was my best freebie of the year and I’m hoping they’ll do another version in 2011.

    Reply
  410. I’m going to have to agree with you and vote for the Uniball Super Ink pen as number one. I love that pen! My second favorite would be the American Apparel tank top I got in the mail a month ago.

    Reply
  411. My favorite was a set of travel-size color shield shampoo and conditioner that came in the mail just as I was getting ready to pack for a trip to Florida. I’m easily swayed by timing.

    Reply
  412. I can’t really think of a favorite. I love my Jose Cuervo stuff. I love my Marlboro stuff. I love my thermos. I love my Maxim and Playboy magazines. Hmmm…. Way to many good freebies to just pick one. Dozens I haven’t mentioned.

  414. Starbucks via packs and all the shampoo/conditioner samples. Now I never have to pack shampoo or conditioner when traveling or going away for the weekend! Seriously, I have enough even for trips lasting a couple of weeks! 🙂

    Reply
  415. I can’t believe I missed so many! My favorite was the full sized roll of scotch painter’s tape. I live in the dorm and so it’s the only thing I can use to hang stuff up with!

    Reply
  416. I think my favorite was a sample size of post cereal because it came with a surprise pack of marigold seeds! It was really fun planting them in the garden!

    Reply
  417. I honestly don’t have a favorite. Many of my freebies landed in care packages for the troops (I seriously have no interest in Sport Fishing or Super Chevy truck magazines) – coffee, deodorant, toothpaste, power bar, granola bars, etc. Several were used as pranks – “Feel my Boobies” bumper sticker sent to a friend/ex-co-worker, condoms to the same. My favorite thing is really just finding the surprises in my mailbox. Thanks HIF team!

  418. My favorite was a tie between Kraft and the Postal Service Showcase samples. Both of these were wonderful. Thanks HIF for posting these.

  419. There were sooo many! But my most favorite was the starbucks via 4 flavor pack freebie, I got to try all four flavors for free. It was great!

  422. The Extra Gum was a favorite, if only bc my neighbor’s kids stole it out of the mailbox and left me just the envelope…at least I think it was the neigbor’s kids ^.^

    Reply
  423. I only discovered this glorious site recently, so I haven’t gotten as many great freebies, but my favorite was the roll of Scotch Blue painter’s tape. I finally got those projects done without paying the ridiculous price for the awesome tape!

  424. My current favorite is the Advil Liqui-Gels. I’ve got the upper respiratory stuff with a headache, so that Advil is coming in handy!

    Reply
  425. My favorite freebie this year was the xtra Dessert Delights gum. Runner up would be the Purina One Dog Food for my dogs – as a petsitter, we LOVE pet freebies! Keep those freebies coming in 2011!

    Reply
  426. It’s so hard to pick a favorite, but the Johnsonville Deli Bites were very popular with my husband. I am a great lover of beauty products, so I enjoyed all the free moisturizer samples (Jergens, Vaseline Intensive Care, etc.)!

    Reply
  427. Hard to pick one so: the USPS samples, proforce cleaning (cleaned a built up area on the floor that noting else worked one) and the pen.

    Reply
  428. I first heard about this website from WZID radio in NH. They were talking about the free Aveeno full size lotion. I signed up for it an a free weeks later…it was here. I’ve been signing up for freebies ever since. I love it. The magazines are great. Thanks

    Reply
  429. All freebies are great! I’d have to say though that I do love the magazine subscriptions and all the food samples, but my favorite is the Disney points! With all the points I have saved up I have gotten a CD, a Pirates of the Carribbean print, and I just ordered a DVD! They take a little more effort to collect, but still an awesome freebie!!! Thanks soooo much!!! 🙂

  430. My favorite was the Dove bath robe. I put it in a basket with several different bath products and had a FABULOUS free (nearly) gift that looked like I had spent a lot. And my friend loved it!

  431. The Kraft Sample Pack – was my favorite due to quantity and quality of product. I have been a long-time Kraft product user. Thanks for all the great freebie postings – I love trying new products!

    Reply
  432. I liked the full sized box of Cottonelle wipes. When I went to get it at the check-out counter the check-out lady said Wow, that’s a good coupon…where did you get it! Of course, that was my opportunity to share the good news about Hey, it’s free! I love this site!

  437. It’s hard to narrow it down to one. Guess the “DiGiorno deep dish pizza” would be my choice as I’m a confirmed pizza addict. Thanks for all the hard work you do bringing us these freebees.

    Reply
  438. Of all you full size freebies, I only got 10. Way to go! Any FREEAnyway, my favorite was the Extra Gum in Key lime Pie. It really tastes like it. Every time I had one it reminded me of The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie.

  439. The Wall Street Journal subscription. Except now my neighbor tries to talk with me about stocks and bonds because he has seen the paper in my drive way.

    Reply
  440. My favorite freebie of 2010 was definitely the Extra Gum. I sent for the Strawberry Shortcake. It had a great long lasting flavor. Nice summer taste that got to be enjoyed as a tasty winter treat! ?thxs?

    Reply
  441. I really enjoy having more magazines come to my door than I’ll ever have time to read. I really like the showcase sampler and Proforce Cleaning samples. The deodorant ones were always just the right size for gym/travel.
    My favorite, though, were the Excedrin samples. I spend money for that, anyways, so it actually saved me money on something I would definitely have paid for anyways!

    Reply
  442. I’ve gotten way too many good things to pick a favorite, but I will say that the pack of gum was my least favorite because I gave it to my son and forgot to check his pockets before washing a large load of jeans! Not a fun afternoon in my laundry room!

    Reply
  443. The keylime pie gum was fabulous. I also used all the free pampers and disney movie rewards to get quite a few freebies. Thanks for all your work!

  444. All the lotion, shampoo, conditioner ETC…. samples were my fav!! My 8 year old daughter saved 20 samples then had a “Spa” girls sleepover with friends! They had a blast!

    Reply
  445. While there were so many things I liked that I got for free this year, I have to say my favorites all came from tobacco companies: the thermos and pocket knife from Copenhagen, the smoking jacket t-shirt, and the Zippo-type lighter. Not a smoker or chewer, but their freebies are pretty cool!

    Reply
  446. I gave my father the free Playboy subscription for Christmas….needless to say, it was his favorite gift! He loves the articles, too!

    All of the free magazine subscriptions have been great (MacWorld, Entertainment Weekly, Glamour, ReadyMade), and I love coffee (many samples from Starbucks, Seattle’s Best, Nescafe, and full pound of beans from Green Mountain Coffee), my favorite has been the full size metal thermos from an unnamed tobacco company.

    Reply
  456. Hard to say exactly what was my all time favorite..guess it would have to be the USPS box. I loved the Uniball pens, dog food, dog treats, Atkins box, gum, tissues, magazines. I finally feel like I’m coming out a little ahead with these freebies! Keep them coming!! Thanks for all the work you do to make all of us so happy.

    Reply
  460. I loved getting the samples of the dog food. I recently got a new dog, in addition to my old girl and he eats like a teenager! The samples are great because they have coupons also.. save alittle bit of money, to spend on my son’s foodage, who is a teenager and eats me out of house and home!

    Reply
  461. I think all of the freebies are good, simply because they are free but if I had to pick one, it would be the Uniball gel pen. I don’t write with any other pen and when you can get a free one, that is like icing on the cake for me. 🙂

    Reply
  462. The thongs were the funniest, even though I never got mine 🙁

    A freebie that I did get and like was the cologne paper sample!

  469. Honestly, My favorite freebie of 2010 would be…

    The One Year Subscription to Playboy…
    Haha, I do enjoy the ‘articles’ that they put in that magazine.

    Now, Un-magazine favorite, Would be the excedrin coupon / $5.00 off.
    During the time I received that, is when I was having severe headaches every single day.

    How about 2? Loved the sobe life water contest. No clue how many free life waters that turned into for me but it was double digits.

    And Haas avocados. Love avocados and got 6 or so for free with the unlimited print coupon.

  474. the Post It Flags & the Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese full size entrée were our favorites which sent us to the store for more!

  475. Definitely the Kraft sample pack. With little kids who doesn’t love anything free from Kraft, especially mac and cheese. I agree with Sonia D, I love the surprise of what’s going to be there when you open the mailbox.

  476. I have to say thanks for all the freebies. I loved getting my UFO light keychain and other items. I will say my favorite is actually all the Victoria secret free panty offers I get in the mail and boyfriend’s mail. If they keep coming, I’ll never have to buy undies again, lol.

    Happy new year everyone!

  481. My favorite was probably the movie codes. I’d never used Blockbuster Express before but once they started doing frequent codes, it was awesome! We enjoy a good movie.

  482. My favorite freebie has to be the monthly free rental from RedBox. Friends keep asking how to get it and its great when I want to do something special for kids but am short on cash 🙂

  483. I missed the Kraft sampler pack…must have been good based on everyones comments. I liked the DiGiorno deep dish pizza. Can’t ever have too much pizza!

    Reply
  484. I think it’d have to be the Starbuck’s VIA samples, although the great stainless steel insulated thermos from Copenhagen was pretty wonderful, too. Happy new year!

  485. My Favorite was #38: Pack of Extra Dessert Delights gum. I was genuinly delighted when I received this! 🙂

    I love this website! Thank you so much for all the freebies!

  486. The Pack of Extra Dessert Delights mint ice cream flavored gum was my favorite but it was a difficult choice. So many nice items to try for free.

    Reply
  487. So many good freebies….I guess if I had to choose, then it was the box of Barilla pasta.

    Thanks for all you do to bring these freebies to me, Goob.

    Reply
  488. Definitely the USPS Sample Showcase. That was like 10 freebies in one, and all really good stuff. Would love it if they offered it again!

  490. The US Post Office Sampler – not only was it full of great things – but it was a great gift from someone unexpected – the Post Office! Way to go guys!

    Reply
  491. My favorite was the Dove shampoo and conditioner. I had never tried it before, but since getting the free sample I buy it consistently.

    Reply
  492. My absolute favorite freebie was a roll of tissue. Pay day was 2 days away and my honey and I were completely broke. I grabbed some paper towels from work (rough as sandpaper) and when I got home, there was a full roll of tissue! My bottom was SO appreciative.

    Reply
  493. I just found this website in September, but I received so many freebies in the past few months. I loved all of the free magazines, but my favorite was the full roll of Scotch blue tape. I was painting a lot of rooms in my house and the blue tape came just as I was running out of a roll. Thank you for all of the wonderful posts. Can’t wait to see what comes up in 2011!!!

    Reply
  494. I have to say the free magazines are my favorite. I currently have wave after wave coming. My kids have magazines stacked next to their beds to read! We are loving this. I have even got a few subscriptions going for a friend and for my Dad! I have to say I really enjoy this website, and keep up the good work 🙂

    Reply
  497. I love everything I got- but I guess my fave was the Uniball pen- they have always been my fave pen (I know, I am a dork)! Thanks so much for this site- I love it!

    Reply
  498. Hard to choose but my fave will probably be one I don’t even have yet – but I won it in 2010 so does that count? It’s the mountain bike from the Marlboro Outwit the West promotion! See, I knew US Geography would come in handy someday!

    Reply
  499. It is hard to say which is my favorite, I love it when my wife makes fun of me for all of the samples we get in the mail and then we get something that she really likes. A good freebie for her = happy wife, which equals happy me! My favorite was probably the Digiorno pizzas.

    Reply
  500. Wow,Imissed a lotofgreat freebies. Where was I? My favorite was the Kraft box. I did however just to the Marlboro Outwit the West contest and won a netbook. I signed up with them thanks to you and now I am getting a free netbook. Awesome freebie but a lot of work.

    Reply
  501. Love all the freebies!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work all year finding such wonderful Free stuff!!
    I think I have gotten the most use out of the Uniball pen…I have used it all year and it is still going strong:)

    Reply
  502. My favorite freebie is Forbes Magazine! Saves me the cost of a subscription as it’s one of my favorite financial magazines. And it gets passed along to the man in my life.

    Great job culling thru the true freebies for us!

    Reply
  503. My favorite were all the coupon books. Getting mail at college = lots of fun, but getting mail at college that helps you pay less for food and other stuff = handy!

    Reply
  504. Free travel thermos from Copenhagen. Somehow this magical device keeps hot beverages hot, and cold ones like ice. Never again shall I be caught dehydrated!

    Reply
  505. I would have to say ALL THE STUFF!! Cell Phone, Tampons, Pads , Soaps, Lotions… BIC MARKERS! I love getting things in the MAIL! Plus they give coupons so doing this is helping us save money~

    Reply
  506. I liked all the food samples, because they cut down on my grocery bill. My dog likes the Better than ears samples and my husband likes the starbucks samples. All in all, it has been a GREAT “free sample” year. I’m looking forward to another awsome year packed full of free samples 🙂

    Reply
  507. The Neil Med neti-pot. I’ve wanted one since Oprah praised it on her show. Then I saw an episode of Cougar Town where one of the characters used it and aspirated saline into his lungs. The next scene showed him being rushed to the hospital. I laughed and laughed!

    Reply
  508. Our family favorite was the Johnsonville Deli bites. I can’t find them in stores, though. My mom and son fought over the last pack of the freebies!

    Reply
  509. The free magazine subscriptions like to Car and Driver, Auto Week, the ones my wife would not frown about. The excuse “but it’s free” sometimes still doesn’t fly on certain things.

    Reply
  510. My favorite was the Home Made Simple package I forgot I had signed up for. It was a good sized both that came from FedEx and included full sized samples of household cleaning products. I love these products and because my kids were there to help me open the package, they love to use the samples to help me clean!!!

    Reply
  511. O my gosh! To pick a favorite from everything I have received because of this site? How painful! I would have to say the Uni-ball pens are at the top of my list. I too have rarely used another and I am super protective of them.. Very few others are allowed to use my pens (I managed to get two)! The multi-tool knife comes in at a near tie though because I use it all the time as well. And the Jose Cuervo promotion is in my top three because that was just cool! For very little work, got tons of GREAT stuff! Thank you for it all!!

  512. my fav give away was really 2 – one a weight loss package from Atkins with books, ferebies to eat and guidance on how to lose weight and my coupon for a free bag of 25.00 organic dog food – brilliant and the pups loved it too.

    Reply
  513. I’ve gotten a lot of great freebies this year since joining you on here. It’s hard to pick one, but I loved the Kraft freebie, we love Kraft here at my house.

    Reply
  514. Shout Color Catcher. I accidentally threw a tee shirt in the wash and the colors ran. I had handwashed it before so I knew better. That sheet actually saved an entire load of wash from having streaks of teal green. I couldn’t believe how well it worked.

    Reply
  515. This is a tough one since I love getting the surprises in my mail each week. I’d have to go with the Kraft freebies since they were for full size products. Love Kraft’s generosity!

  516. My favorite are the plenitude of small household items that I can send to my son who has recently moved out on his own. Now I know he has toothpaste, kleenex and soap despite if he decides to use it or not.

  517. Happy New Year Goob!

    My Favorite?
    It’s a tie between the US Post Office Sample Box and
    Uniball Super Ink. I hope the US P.O does another sample box in 2011;
    it’s great advertising for those products. The pen is still going strong!
    Thank YOU for all your hard work posting all the freebies. Have a great 2011.

  522. OMG the Key Lime Pie Dessert gum was the best food item, the 50$ Target GC I won from the Dr. Oz thing and the 30$ Office Depot GC. However, I appreciate all the freebies I receive. Its turned a blah errand into Christmas everyday……it doesnt get better than that!

  523. My favorite freebie that I received before discovering this site was definitely the US Postal Service box.

    From this site, the best was definitely my magazine subscriptions!

  524. My favorite freebie has to be all of the free magazine subscriptions. I think the best was the playboy I got for my husband. I think that won me the world’s best wife status!

  525. Definately the Kraft coupon book. I now only buy the homestyle mac and cheese now and the white cheese kind is out of this world.

    Reply
  526. The smoking jacket t shirt. I gave it to my hubby and he wore it to work for Halloween. He added a pipe and a set of bunny ears I had from Easter to complete the outfit. He was the hit of the office!
    Thank you so much! 🙂

  530. Starbucks Via! samples, those were a hit at our house. And we wouldn’t have tried them without the samples….I guess Starbucks knows what they are doing, it’s now a staple in the pantry.

    Thanks for everything! I’ve referred so many friends here who are now avid followers, it’s just too much fun not to check it out daily!

  531. I LOVED getting free Melissa & Doug toys from Gilt Credit! I use the BBX codes atleast once a week, and the FREE MAGAZINES!

    My husband is thankful for Playboy & Maxim especially!

  534. It’s tough, but my kids would vote for the free Oreos and the free gum samples. I’m with everyone else – that Mint Chocolate chip gum is fabulous!

    Reply
  535. The Extra Desserts Gum. Mint Chocolate Chip…mmm…and the blue painters tape from Scotch because I genuinely needed it. 🙂

    Reply
  536. I get so excited about all my freebies, but I would have to say the Jose Cuervo Margarita Ball…which I ended up getting three of! But I really had to work at that freebie, so I considered it quite an accomplishment!

    Reply
  537. I loved the Kraft sample pack as well. I used the coupons toward a $10 rebate offer, so it was almost like they paid me to use their products. It was an awesome score! My friends call me the Queen of Freebies.

  538. After finding HIF,I received so many great freebies.I have to say the best freebie I got was the full size package of Green Mountain coffee with the mug.That was the best coffee!Thanks HIF

  539. My favorite was Tide because I bought fabric softener instead of detergent by mistake. When I was ready to do the laundry instead of being frustrated I opened and used my sample!

    Reply
  540. So, so many to try and pick from. The Excederin, Kraft sample pack and Extra gum pack top the list. I missed out on the USPS sample program. Hopefully they will offer it again.

    Reply
  541. It’s hard to pick just one but my top 3 were the magazine subscriptions, the pens (agree with freebies make consumers) and the Kraft Box!! Thanks again and Happy New Year Goob!

  542. Its so hard to choose just one! I would have to say I had a few! The Starbucks Via Coffee oh so delicious!

I am not a huge mint chocolate chip ice cream fan but man I fell in love with this gum!

  544. It is hard to choose ONE favorite thing because Hey! It’s ALL Free!! But to enter the contest I will have to say the magazine subscriptions top my list.

  549. I took advantage of a ton of the freebies offered on this site, but I really liked the American Apparel thong most. How often can you get free underwear in the mail?

    Reply
  550. My favorite freebie was definitely the Smoker’s Jacket t-shirt. It is a thing of beauty. And makes me look oh-so classy when I smoke cigars, pipes, and such.

    Reply
  551. My favorite was definitely the Extra Dessert Delights gum. I got the Key Lime Pie sent to my apartment, and loved it so much that I wanted to try the Strawberry Shortcake…so I cheated and had the freebie mailed to my parents’ house. I love both flavors, but every time I try to convince one of my friends to try them, they say it’s “too weird” and won’t try it! 🙁
    I also got my boyfriend the free Maxim subscription so he’ll have something to read while I’m clipping coupons. 😛

  552. I liked the adult underwear because we were able to use it for a dirty Santa gag gift…that an 8 year old opened! Needless to say, he wasn’t very happy with his selection!

  553. I’d like to thank you for everything. I especially love the plethora of travel sized items, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, etc. They’re perfect for weekend getaways & airline travel for the longer trips!

    Reply
  554. I get so many good freebie magazines. I believe of the many I receive, the only one I paid for is Real Simple and that was $5. I get Ode, Good Housekeeping, Vogue and a couple of others (used to have Oprah Magazine and Martha Stewart Living but they ran out). Free entertainment every week!

    Reply
  555. My favorite was the USPS sample pack also. As soon as I got it, I quickly filled out the survey on the site in hopes that all of the positive feedback will help urge them towards doing it again! Thanks HIF for everything!!!!
